  • This was my first trip to Local. I was unimpressed. My wife's potato soup tasted like raw flour. The bread with cheese appetizer was OK but nothing special. The pappardelle was nice. My wifes risotto was not cooked properly (although tasty), some of the rice was still hard. It was obvious the exec chef was not in the house. Now when I ask for Iced I expect iced tea not funky tea. The wait staff needs to let people know what kind it is. The wait staff was very good. One of the wines Dona Paula Estate Malbec from Argentina was listed for $69. It can be found at Costco for +-$12. Now that is an outrageous markup. Even wine.com has it for $14.99. Remember restaurants buy it for wholesale which was most likely +-$11.00 Now this is gauging (+-620% markup) to the max. Now dont get me wrong i have paid $400 for a bottle of wine in a 4* restaurant ( Sanctuary, Bourbon Steak, Jean George NYC, Valentino ) but then again I know what I am buying . ALSO being a wine guy I noticed some of the wine was 18 feet off the floor, now in AZ this is a NO NO. Wine spoils at 80 degrees. BOTTOM LINE: The food got barely a 3* only because of the pappardelle (was very good), the risotto, is difficult to cook quickly (a Pass), the potato soup ( someone needs training) the wine gouging go ZERO stars I was very generous with the 2 stars overall, mainly because of the wine scenario. Will I go back? maybe, because of some of the other recommendations on YELP. the menu is interesting but definitely not at lunch. Management needs to do some soul searching teach better techniques, teach the cook staff and make adjustments.
